With an oat crust and the perfect hint of pumpkin pie. These are hands-down the best pumpkin squares ever!

Give your pumpkin pie recipe a break and whip up some of these delicious pumpkin squares this fall!

You can make this pumpkin pie filling but pure pumpkin is a bit more dense and delicious. Work them into your fall treats lineup and don’t forget the Old Farmhouse Honey Cookies and Apple a Day Cocktail. All three make for a nice visit with a friend on a Saturday afternoon.

You’ll Need:

  • 1/2 cup instant oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Wholesome Organic Light Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup of butter
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 can of pumpkin
  • 1 12 oz can evaporated milk
  • 2 Large Eggs

  • 1/2 cup organic brown sugar

pumpkin squares-3pumpkin squares-4Directions:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 F.
  • First, combine oats, flour, brown sugar and butter in a mixer. Mix for a few minutes, until everything is crumbly.
  • Press the mixture into the base of an ungreased 13×9-inch baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • While your crust is baking, combine sugar, can of pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, and pumpkin pie spice in your mixer and beat for about two minutes at medium speed.
  • Once the crust is finished baking, pour your mixture on top and return to the oven to bake for another 20 minutes.
  • Meantime, chop your pecans and combine them with 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Sprinkle the pecan topping over the filling and return to the oven to bake for another 20-25 minutes.
  • Finally, cool and then cut into bars.

We like to enjoy ours with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. I hope you love them as much as we do!

Final Notes

Once your bars have cooled completely stick the whole pan in the fridge for 30 minutes before cutting into squares. You can store the squares in an airtight container in the fridge and take them out just before serving. You can also freeze the squares in an air-tight container in layers separated by parchment paper.

It's truly amazing what our bodies can do. 💛

Life update. ❤ I’ll be keeping this piece of Life update. ❤

I’ll be keeping this piece of art forever. Wyatt painted this for me back in January, when I was isolated with Covid. I taped it up on the wall beside the bed during my stay in our guest room. If you zoom in, you’ll see me in the front with the big baby belly. (Wyatt calls me ‘big belly’ these days!)

Rainbows represent promise, hope, and new beginnings. 

It's been a rough past few weeks for our family, hence my absence online. Thank you so much for your messages of love, concern, and support. They mean so much to us. I know I share a lot with you on here, but I’m not going to get into details this time. Just know we're doing alright. Junebug is great (and kicking and rolling around non-stop!), Wyatt is awesome per usual, and Ryan and I are rock solid.

I had to take a break from work. My main focus has always been (and will
always be) protecting the peace, health, and well-being of our family unit. 

Social media can be a beautiful place where connection and inspiration happens. Unfortunately, it can also foster hurtful and harmful attacks. I’ve learned so much over these past few weeks, and have deeply reflected on my presence and future plans online. I’ll share more soon, but for now, I just wanted to check in, say a sincere thanks, and let you know we’re all good. ❤️
The moment I found out. September 22, 2021. I’ll The moment I found out. September 22, 2021. I’ll be honest - the first trimester wasn’t great. There were moments of joy (like this one) but it was filled with anxiety, scary moments, and a few hurdles. 

🤰I’m playing catchup on some pregnancy blog posts but I wanted to make sure this was up, especially for those who have been following our journey. 

👉 Head on over to KariSkelton.com for ‘Pregnancy Q&A: The First Trimester’ where I get into all of it. Link is in my bio.

❔️Please ask any questions. That’s the whole reason why I share about this. I believe sharing our experiences and personal stories helps all of us feel less alone and often validates what we’re going through. 

(If you can believe it, I took a video of the exact moment I found out but it disappeared from my files. Poof! Gone.💨 Of all the videos to lose…. 🙈 But very happy to have this photo).
